France and Germany talking dual citizenship
The dual citizenships are not truly equal. I think as of now, both Germany and France allow "dual citizenship". The following article shows that it is not the case of "true dualcitizenship".

France and Germany talking dual citizenship

If evidence was still needed that the revitalised Franco-German motor is roaring along once again, it emerged when a proposal for dual citizenship between the two powers was unveiled.
The revolutionary initiative - part of a program to intensify bilateral relations - would allow German and French citizens resident in each other's countries to hold the passports of both states.
The plan was to be officially declared yesterday when 577 French MPs and 603 German MPs came together in Versailles for their first joint session of parliament to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Franco-German co-operation.
Other items on the agenda included the appointment of representatives from each country to co-ordinate bilateral policy, moves to harmonise laws and a plan to hold joint cabinet meetings.
The purpose of the dual citizenship declaration - formulated by President Jacques Chirac and Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder - is to outline the countries' vision of close co-operation, which in the past month has accelerated at a speed that has startled much of the rest of Europe.
The proposal would allow French and German citizens to vote in each other's national elections and is being presented as a model and initial step towards the goal of future European
citizenship.
Germany's parliamentary president, Wolfgang Thierse, welcomed the proposal, which MPs say is likely to take years to realise. "If Germany and France go ahead in this way then this is yet another step to getting Europe moving towards the future," he said.
Ministers from both countries were due to come together in Paris yesterday for their first joint cabinet meeting. Franco-German general secretaries, to be appointed in both countries, will be responsible for organising the twice-yearly joint meetings and for co-ordinating joint law-making. The French Prime Minister, Jean-Pierre Raffarin, has said he plans to employ a German citizen as a policy adviser.
Both countries were also due to announce that they would nominate common candidates for posts on international bodies, including sports organisations, and could hold joint sports events such as soccer World Cups or the Olympics.
Since the Elysee Treaty was signed in Versailles 40 years ago, Franco-German co-operation has gone a considerable way to healing relations between the former enemies.

A third citizenship
How about applying for a French citizenship now and than US citizenship in 3 years ?
I read in one of the state department pages that US does not encourage this practice and actually may cancel US citizenship if it finds it.
Do you guys have any idea about this topic ? Any detail documents I can look at it ?
